Hi Karsten,

I have made samba with ads work on two servers here, one running centos 5.4
using samba 3.033  and the other  ubuntu 9.10 server using samba 3.4.0.
On each there is  kerberos, ldap and winbind.
I looked at the instructions that you used and they look as if they should
work but I am now out of my depth. I have never made it work without ldap. I
also had samba 3.5.0rc3 running on unbuntu 9.10 server with only kerberos
and ldap, that was with no winbind.
Note those all use ldap. I don't have personal experience authenticating
without ldap.

Here they do it without ldap:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_&_Active_Directory
 so you might try there.
Sorry I can't be more help for doing it without ldap, not my area of
expertise.
There's a good book on samba put out by OReilly called "Using Samba"
